And, astonishingly, he even flaunted her on a string of dates to VIP haunts in ­Manchester, including bars, clubs and the city’s 235 Casino.

Rooney confessed his disgrace to ­childhood sweetheart Coleen, who took him back in 2004 after the Sunday Mirror twice exposed him for cheating on her with prostitutes.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, escort girl ­Jennifer said of multi-millionaire ­Rooney at the time: “He sent me SIM cards full of text ­messages and spoke to me on Skype using a false name. Whenever we met for sex, it was always in the same hotel.”

Helen Wood, another prostitute, then claimed she had a threesome with the footballer and Jenny while Coleen was still pregnant, although he has never confirmed it.

At the time Helen and Jenny were being urged to keep quiet by other vice girls who made thousands from Premier League footballers.

Helen is now in the Big Brother house (which we imagine is just beyond awkward for the whole Rooney clan).

Mario Balotelli

Mario Balotelli

Where do we even start? Without question the most entertaining - and downright madcap - to grace our screens.

The crazy Italian has been fined for ridiculous incidents many times now, including throwing darts at youth team players, brawling with Roberto Mancini and famously setting a firework off in his bedroom.

Joey Barton

Joey Barton has had a less than smooth past in the limelight, and more brushes with the law than we can possibly count.

He has twice been convicted on charges of violence - spending 74 days in prison for a brawl in Liverpool City Centre.

The QPR man then showed he had curbed his ways by assaulting Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo on the training ground - leaving the Frenchman with a detached retina.

Barton was arrested and questioned by Greater Manchester Police after the incident. He was bailed and later charged with assault.

After changing his initial not guilty plea to a guilty one, Barton was sentenced to a four-month suspended prison sentence plus 200 hours of community service and ordered to pay £3,000 compensation and Dabo's court costs.
